For about the past month I keep getting intermittent DNS lookup errors. I have reset my DW7000 many times and the problem always returns. I got an error when trying to browse to google! I'm almost positive that the error is with the HughesNet DNS servers. Is anyone else having the same problems? Thanks

Here is a typical test result when my connection is working normally with signal strength 87. I also listed the transmission info below. I rebooted my DW700 about 10 minutes ago.

Of course I got this error (Suspected Recent Satellite Link Outage (Error 506)) when I tried to post this message. I have rebooted and it took 10 minutes to finally be able to post this.

I have called my ISP and I get to talk to someone I can barley understand and usually get disconnected after about an hour.

Thanks for the reply and welcome. I restart the modem almost everyday. I am meticulous about computer housekeeping. I run Diskeeper 10 Pro and have it set to defragg the harddrive everyday. It is not my computer I can assure you that.

BTW I am sure I am not getting FAPed due to the fact that all I am doing is surfing and not downloading anything.

I have had Direcway/Hughes since Feb 2006. For the first month or so it seemed to be better than dial-up. Now I have lost patients with it. It seems that every time I try to surf the net it gets worse and worse. I get suspected satellite outage messages at least 5-10 times during a 1 hour session on the Internet. I have been keeping track of my problems since July 19th and during the past month my connection has failed everyday. And when it does work it is very slow. Here is the result I got right before posting this message. :::..

Usually I just give up and use my dial-up connection. I am paying for Pro service with a DW7000. I have noticed that when my connection doesn't work or is real slow if I look at the transmissions info page on my DW7000 I get about 3-5 failed transmissions per second. I have tried Hughesnet support but have gotten nowhere. Can anyone help me?
